I dared her to spend a hot, no-strings night with me. Now I’m determined to keep her forever.
I’m Trace Weston, recently reformed womanizer. In the blink of an eye, I went from busy bachelor to full-time single dad. My life was already complicated before my sister-in-law asked me to show off my bedroom skills to her bestie, who’s wanting to experience real pleasure now that her one-and-only … pleasure now that her one-and-only long-term relationship is over. Gorgeous Masey Garrett isn’t my “usual.” She’s shy, sassy, driven, and incredibly kind. Suddenly I’m falling fast…but she’s only mine for a night.
What’s a former player to do? Change the rules.
Now she’s under my roof night after night, letting me into her body and her life. Her heart? Not so much. She loves my newborn son. Me? I can’t tell. I’m pulling out all the stops to win her over, but she’s not taking me seriously. Other than passion, how can I reach her? Every attempt only pulls me deeper under her spell. Sure, I could drop an L bomb…except that once imploded my heart. But when her past collides with my desired future, can I risk everything and dare Masey to stay with me forever?

This is Trace Weston and Masey Garrett’s story. Trace’s brother is Noah Weston in More Than Love You and Masey Garrett is BFF’s with Harlow Reed Weston.
Each of these books can be read as standalones but your reading would be greatly enhanced by starting with book 1. Just so you will know who’s who since the other characters do get mentioned in each of the books. This series has been a really good and sexy one!
If you ask me Trace Weston is the PERFECT man! He’s a single dad and he used to be a manwhore but Ranger changed things and he changed things pretty fast! I love a man that knows how to handle a baby.
Masey has asked her BFF Harlow to find her a man to sleep with. Masey has just gotten out of a relationship that she had been in for a long time. Harlow suggested her BIL as being the man to do the job! I love Trace throughout this whole story. Masey was a little shy but then she had been in a relationship with a very self centered & downright selfish man. Trace had a lot to overcome with Masey!
If you love romance then you can’t go wrong with this book and the entire series!

The latest entry in the More Than Words series, More Than Dare You surpasses all expectations. It’s sexy. It’s sensual. It’s steamy. It has all the feels; good and bad. Shayla Black creates characters who are compelling, engaging and have extraordinary depth. The storylines support the characters with just the right mix of drama, humor and romance. It makes for an easy, genuinely pleasurable reading experience.
Single dad Trace Weston has a reputation as a womanizer. He doesn’t shy away from it but he’s finding he wants something more out of life. Something like what his friends and his brother have; love and marriage. Enter Masey Garrett, his sister in law’s best friend. Coming off a ten year relationship where she had her heart broken, Masey needs to know what real pleasure is and it seems that Trace is the man for the job. Instead of just a one night hookup they become intertwined in each other’s as events conspire in keeping them together. Convincing Masey to share a future with him and his son will be an uphill battle but he’s up for the challenge. Does she dare take a chance?
Masey and Trace. Two people, one night. Will they dare for more.
This story is about trust and pain of lost love.
They met for a planned one night stand. What actually happens, is a whole lot more.
The cherry on the top is past characters appearing through out the story. A fantastic summer story.
I will admit I am normally not one that loves single Dad romance, however, Shayla knocked this one out of the park. How could you not fall for Trace?
Trace has previously been a player and was used to getting what he wanted when he wanted it. He has really never been the relationship type, however, due to his circumstances that is changing for him. One night changes it all. A favor turns into a desire he has never known. Is this what he has been missing? Can this hot and single Dad offer his world to Masey?
Masey is an incredible heroine. I really loved Shayla’s touches of detail with her and her job as an influencer. She is really lacking in the love department and really feels she just needs one night to shake the cobwebs off. She gets WAY more than she bargained for. Could she be a good fit in Trace’s world? Is he what has been missing in her life? She really starts to think so ;).
I DARE YOU to read this. It is swoon worthy and contains some really hot between the sheets scenes. This is an amazing addition to the series. Shayla has done it again!!
Oh my, yes! This Shayla Black story is a sensual delight!
More Than Dare You by Shayla Black is the sixth book in her More Than Words series. I really liked the two main characters Masey Garrett, beauty influencer and Trace Weston, single dad and charter boat owner-operator. They both have some issues to overcome, especially Masey who was dumped by her boyfriend of ten years. But I think they are perfect together. The sex scenes are steamy and fun when Trace whispers, “I dare you.” in Masey’s ear. This is a great addition to Ms. Black’s More Than Words series.
I’m in awe!! Trace and Macey’s story, book 6 in the More than Words series. This book has all the feels, romance and laughter you come to expect from the talented Ms Shayla Black. Trace, a single dad to his son Ranger. Macey, the beauty influencer. Along with the others you’ve come to love.
Who doesn’t love a hot, single dad? Trace has a reputation, maybe not the best. He’s good in bed…i mean, really good!
And Macey, she’s had her heart broken. She wants a hot night, prove to herself that she’s over her ex. Her best friend, Harlow has just the guy. It’s perfect…he’s not known for relationships and she just wants a night. No strings, right?
Shayla writes a book that pulls you in. Makes you feel as if you know these people. You laugh, cheer, and even fuss as these characters bring you into their story.
I love how she bring characters from other series and incorporates them. Again, all people who you’ve read their stories and feel as if you’re part of their lives.
You don’t have to read the series in order to be drawn in but if you do…it brings so many other aspects into the existing story.
So go ahead and read the whole series…i dare you!
Ooooooooh…dirty, dirty, dirty, but also filled with lots of heart.
I have to say this was one of the most emotionally intense books that I’ve probably ever read from the male’s POV before. I felt like Shayla had a connection that was deeply tapped into the male psyche and everything that Trace was feeling emotionally and physically came through like I was living inside his head. It was a beautiful connection that had be completely immersed and unwilling to leave. So while this was hot…it was also heartfelt.
Trace is known to be a playboy, but his life changed the moment he became a father. A single father at that. When his sister-in-law asks him for a favor, to help one of her friends out of a sexual slump, it isn’t necessarily a hardship considering he’s been on a dry spell since the birth of his son.
One night is all they are both looking for, but could it be more?
Masey wasn’t looking for more than a fling while visiting Hawaii, but things became a bit more complicated the longer she stayed in Trace’s company. He is certainly more than the playboy persona her best friend led her to believe, but she was only prepared to visit, not to stay forever.
Could she possibly dare to hope for more?
While this is part of a series, it can be read as a complete standalone.
More Than Dare You was everything I loved in a romance novel and more. Unputdownable and encroaching material by Shayla in which the characters drew me in at every turn. Trace and Masey were the perfect couple and both their hardship/obstacles to overcome meshed well. At times, I wanted to slap Masey with her ‘feelings’ but in the end and her ‘wake-up’ call, it all ended the way it should. While reading I noticed certain aspects of Shayla and Masey’s character’s job with her Wine Wednesdays and make-up profiling. I liked how she put herself in this story, whether it was on purpose or not, I did pick up on it.
Shayla wrote a wonderful character in Trace. The way he was perceived through words with his demeanor; brilliant. He was guarded, but alluring-sexy. A family man down to the core, but took a chance on a woman and gave her all of him… literally! Shayla spiced and heated up the bedroom, and hot damn! Trace knows how to make a woman pant!
The More Than Words series novels are great and all characters do inter-mingle. I do suggest reading in order to know and understand certain characters, but really it’s not a necessity.
Trace’s gigolo status has always been something he never shied away from. In fact his love for the ladies is well known. But when he is asked to have one night with Masey to literally break her out of her bedroom slump he finds himself not really enjoying his status. Will Masey be the one to break this bad boy out of his customary shell? Or will the baggage she is trying to overcome be too much to be handled? Once again Shayla Black has written a true and honest love story. Making the difference between what is perceived and what is expected to what is the surprising underlying want and need is done in such a way that the reader cannot help but want both characters to work through everything and be together. Throw in Trace’s little boy and you have even more to love. Another awesome read in a wonderful series.
This series has become an automatic one-click for me–which means my standards were high going into this read. Now I’ll make it official: my expectations were blown right off their swooning, sighing hinges.
But the hot, sexy swoon factor is just the start of what’s going on here. I love this book for so many more reasons than that. Important reasons. The core of that reasoning revolves around the story’s two protagonists, Trace Weston and Masey Garrett, who agree they’re both badly in need of a one-night stand without the Tinder hassle. What happens, of course, is so much more, taking these two through a plot that had me chuckling at times and aching in others–but most of all, rooting for this destined duo in ways that had me thinking about them even when I had to tear myself away from the book (which wasn’t for very long periods, I can guarantee you that).
Ms. Black’s prowess for creating believable, beautiful protagonists is at an all-time high in this book. There’s a gorgeous and wonderful maturity in how Masey and Trace connect with each other. They don’t have to help each other “grow up” because they ARE grown up, and have processed a lot of their “issues” already. They both already know their baggage; now they’re looking for someone with a set that matches–despite how neither of them quite knows it yet!
This was a sublimely perfect read for me. It checked every single box for the magical memorability that has become the hallmark of this wonderful series. Brava!
